Filter by:Our study aims to improve adherence to international clinical guidelines of repeating colonoscopy within 1 year, when bowel cleansing has failed. To this end, we have designed an ambispective study in patients with inadequately prepared colonoscopy. An intervention group to which a precise written recommendation on the need to repeat the colonoscopy in less than 1 year is attached, compared with a control group to which no written recommendations are provided. The sample size calculation is 171 patients per arm. In addition, we will quantify the percentage of pre-malignant and malignant lesions detected at repeat colonoscopy. We will also analyze factors that may be related to the recommendation or non-recommendation of repeat colonoscopy, as well as the association of variables related to adherence to repeat colonoscopy at an interval of less than 1 year. Through our study, we intend to demonstrate that a written recommendation, easily applicable and generalizable, has a positive impact on adherence to clinical follow-up guidelines in patients in whom bowel cleansing has failed.
The CRC DRAW study will assess the sensitivity and specificity of the blood-based, Next-Gen CRC Screening Test for the detection of CRC.
Aim: In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of lavender oil inhalation on the anxiety and comfort levels of patients who will undergo colonoscopy. Material and Method: In this randomized controlled, prospective study, 73 experimental and 72 control group patients who will experience colonoscopy in a training and research hospital in western Turkey were included. While lavender inhalation was applied to the patients in the experimental group, routine care was applied to the patients in the control group. The short-form state-trait anxiety scale and general comfort scale were used to collect data before and after the procedure. p<0.05 level was considered statistically significant.
International evidence highlights the preanaesthetic assessment clinics (PAC) as a system of benefits for both the patient and the anaesthesiologist. The system has gained global acceptance as a routine method of optimising patients' medical conditions prior to surgery and therefore minimising surgery cancellations and improving hospital efficiency. However, a systematic review found no evidence of the efficiency of (PAC) and therefore we wanted to investigate this with the use of hospitals journals.
To validate the performance of the Poseidon System™ for fluid management during water-aided endoscopic procedures in the colon.
The trial is about comparing the efficacy of Plenvu with Picoprep. Both are bowel cleansing agents prior to visual examination of the large bowel to exclude cancer disease. 400 patients who are referred for colonoscopy to a single center in North Jutland will be randomised either to Picoprep or Plenvu. These patients will then answer a questionnaire prior to colonoscopy. The questionnaire is about the most common expected side effects and the experience of cleansing og intake of the bowel agents. The effect of the two agents will examined using a special scoring system (Harefield) to determine the quality of bowel cleansing. Colonoscopist who evaluate the cleansing is blinded to which agent the patient has taken.
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy, safety and usability of perioperative fully-automated closed-loop insulin delivery versus standard insulin therapy in patients with diabetes other than type 1 diabetes undergoing elective major abdominal surgery.
This is a qualitative interview study to understand patients' priorities for different aspects of tests when considering a colonic investigation. Patients currently waiting for colon capsule endoscopy (CCE), and colonoscopy will be invited to take part. Semi-structured interviews will be carried out over the telephone following an interview guide. Recorded interviews will be transcribed and undergo thematic analysis. We will seek to publish the results of this study to inform future research and developments for colonic investigations.
Colonoscopy is a common procedure to evaluate the gastrointestinal tract. The colonoscopy procedure can sometimes be uncomfortable and painful for the patient. The aim of this study was to compare the effects on pain and anxiety of distraction methods used during colonoscopy. Single centre, randomized, parallel-group trial. Endoscopy unit of a training and research hospital in northern Turkey A total of 120 patients were recruited and randomized into four groups as music, stress ball, video, and control group. The data were collected using Visual Analog Scale for pain and satisfaction, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for anxiety, and hemodynamic parameters. Data collection continues
This is a multicenter cross-sectional study on the prevalence of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and the risk factors associated with it. The Rome IV criteria is used for diagnosing IBS. A questionnaire-guided interview will be applied to all subjects.
